let me think now !!!!! Title: Do you support the consortium? Post by: Rich Pullen on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 19:15:34 I support the trust.
Title: Do you support the consortium? Post by: herthab on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 19:17:14 I'd be very, very suprised if anyone said no Sonic.
Do I believe that the board are all a bunch of liars, cheats and thieves? No. Do I believe that the whole of the consortium are doing this purely for altruistic reasons? No. Do I believe there's a fucking load of grey areas, where a lot of people are seeing only black and white? Fuck yeah!! Get the current board out, give the Consortium a go, but lets get away from the idea that the board are wearing black hats and the consortium white. It can't be that simple.

- Fred Elliott for North Swindon MP or - Paul Davis for Swindon El Presidente Crap poll, Sonic. Title: Do you support the consortium? Post by: Fred Elliot on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 19:23:49 I shall be holding clinics in the lounge bar of the New Inn
Title: Do you support the consortium? Post by: mattboyslim on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 19:24:00 Agree Hertha, too many unanswered questions from the club though, no trust left with them, but i believe occasionally and very occasionally that is, that they raise valid questions of the consortium and trust. My personal opinion is more that the consortium is more backed wholeheartedly by the trust and as such its members, as opposed to actually being a consortium led by the trust. The meeting where Mr Wilkes first sounded out the idea , it was very much his ideas that the trust backed.

Yeovil's going to be my campaign manager and FB's going to be my running mate :beers: Title: Do you support the consortium? Post by: mattboyslim on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 19:42:34 Fred, I think it's the more the media perception of the campaign, than anything else. In normal circles a takeover consortium bid led by a fan with real financial backing would be a 'takeover bid'. With ours because Mr Wilkes had the decency to speak at a fans meeting it has been labelled a 'fans consortium' something I would always associated more with collection £50,000 in a glorified bucket collection. From my perspective if the whole thing happens (when?!), then it will be a proper business decision, a fan on the board will be fantastic, but I think that's something clubs should do anyway. I percieve it more as a 'proper' takeover as opposed to a few kind hearted fans taken over.

Matty Fair comments and taken on board Give me 10 mins and Ill give you links to real examples of whats trusts/fans consortiums can do Title: Do you support the consortium? Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, December 20, 2006, 21:04:59 I'd probably back Power vs the current board even if the fans weren't involved, so for me the fans involvement is like the moment just before ejaculation. Clearly the spunk moment is the day I get elected Chairman Designate in conjunction with Willie Carson and can mock a 50 odd page proposal by reading it's title.
